I love it, G!!! What a tribute to some of Sci Fi's greatest, and some various and sundry others.
They flowed together in a great poem that was unique and entertaining. I'm not sure what your inspiration was, but I like it!
Take care,
Rhonda

Comment from aryr
Wow, all I can say is 'wow' again. I read it three times before I submitted my review. This was rather intense and the great writers that you listed just seemed to present their ideas with an urgency that demanded their notice. Your own words just seem to add to the urgency. Very well done, a great picture, very appropriately titled 'Entitled' and so very much enjoyed.

Comment from Gloria ....
G, I got quite a charge out of your title, and it is most fitting to your interesting poem. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy can take one on a fascinating journey through time and space.
Excellent idea and poem with seamlessly woven together famous (more or less) titles.
Much enjoyed your innovative approach. :))

This was a fun exercise. Wrangling them into a narrative was tricky but I enjoyed it. Many thanks as always. G
Comment from humpwhistle
If only for your stellar collection of the genre's most famous, if not always the best, examples. I'd be hard pressed to identify all the examples, but I think I caught all the references as they popped up. I wonder if Kurt Vonnegut could have contributed to the offerings--sounds kind of like a Billy Pilgrim trip.
I enjoyed.
Peace, Lee

Comment from Ulla
Hi Gareth, how good to see you back. I thought about you recently and thought you'd probably left for good, and then you're suddenly here with quite an amazing poem.
You manage to interwove all those images and characters. I really liked it. All best, Ulla:)))

I can hardly believe how well you wove all this together. It reads so smoothly, and jogs the imagination to no end. I'm so glad to see you back. I was thinking about you just last week. Hope all is well with you and yours.

Helo, stranger! I've missed your writing and am glad to get the opportunity to read one of your posts. I see you took the poem with books challenge. I'm glad and enjoyed reading.

Comment from estory
Nice one. I liked the kalaidascope of images here, apocalyptic images, especially that one of the computer dreaming electric. Really nice original, unique image. You paint a picture of mankind lumbering on into doom, destroying the planet, veering off the course to the restaurant at the end of the universe, ignoring the forces for good in the universe. That was a great, unique contemporary image too, that restaurant at the end of the universe. An oasis we have all known in our experience, that we can relate to. estory
